Tom Brodsky sent me this report last night but I missed it. "Willy, took my friends grandkids fishing the last 2 days. Here's the lingcod Noah caught in the outer bay yesterday. Today 40 Rockcod in 1-1/2 hours off of 10 mile. Sorry no photos." A flat ocean and poor halibut bite is surely bad news for the rockfish. So is Noah, by the looks of it. Nice work of the rockfish. 

     Tom was out after the rockfish with a new crew today and both he and Ron Johnson sent pictures of this fish to ask if it was a cowcod. It is a tiger rockfish and they aren't very common around here. Most importantly, it is also a keeper.
